Publisher's summary

Reyes is a man possessed. Bound by the demon of pain, he is forbidden to know pleasure. Yet he craves a mortal woman, Danika Ford, more than breath and will do anything to claim her - even defy the gods.

Danika is on the run. For months she's eluded the Lords of the Underworld, immortal warriors who won't rest until she and her family have been destroyed. But her dreams are haunted by Reyes, the warrior whose searing touch she can't forget. Yet a future together could mean death to all they both hold dear.

Don't miss the other books in the Lords of the Underworld series.

I have been waiting for Reyes' story. SO GOOD!

From the start of the series I have been waiting to listen to the story of Reyes and Danika. What a great story Gena weaves and you definitely get to know these characters in prior books so you are looking forward to more when their books are up. The series continues to get better with each book. Book one starts a little to slow for my taste but the ending made up for the slow start. Book two was much better and this 3rd book even better. More action and mystery with less slow spots.

Like I said before, book one had me looking forward to Reyes' story and it was worth the wait.

Less sex scenes then I would like but great story

I loved this book in the series because you really start to learn more about all of the characters and they are really telling a great story. There’s a good battle scene. The narrator is amazing! Each character has a different voices. I would have liked more sex scenes, but their relationship.

This series is my new addiction!

I'm so happy I finally purchased this series. After reading rave reviews over the last few months, I finally delved into the world of the Lords! And I've loved every minute! Great narration, interesting characters, and of course I gush over romance that blossoms against the odds. This third installment focuses on Reyes---total tortured hottie of course---and his love interest Danika. I loved Reyes in both books 1 & 2, so I was excited to listen to his story unfold. I'm moving on to book 4 and can't wait. These books are definitely credit worthy!

Another excellent book in this series

I'm totally addicted to this series. I've loved learning about each of the Lords and seeing the world and fight between them and the Hunters develop. The series just keeps getting better with each book.

The only complaint that I have at this point is that there are so many Lords that I'm getting them mixed up and forgetting who has which demon.

This book is about Reyes (Pain) and his human -- introduced in the first book. It's a wonderful story and as always, the chemistry written between the two main characters just sucked me in.

I love that the other Lords are so accepting of the women who are joining them. They're beginning to see positive benefits to giving up their bachelor ways and some are even coming around to the possibility of finding someone of their own one day.
